Thank God

aljharem:
Good move

Btw English is not the Christian Language but Nigeria official language. Hebrew is the language.

Latin .... i think

Hebrew is for Judaism....innit?

I support this.. Arabic should be removed from all the currency notes.
Not Arabic!

abubello:
when are they going to remove the arabic numerals from the Naira?

why argue so much for arabic letters when you have arabic numerals?
Is there anybody who can read arabic letters and wont know the numerals?

aljharem:


You also have a point but tolerance can go both ways

He also doesn't av a point, it isnt abt Christians or Muslims bt abt d Nigerian languages. There's no Christian language on any Naira note so y d arabic? The three major tribal languages re written to help pple knw hw much they're holding n then, d English equivalent is also put to help d general citizenry. There's isnt any justification for d arabics on our Naira notes.

jude33084:


But English is foreign?

Should they also remove it?

English is foreign but an agreed and accepted official language for Nigeria.

coolsix:

Not Arabic!

But why are you guys against the Arabic language?

Ok let us go to war! Whatever happened happens, whoever falls die.. Fvcking haters!

Idrismusty97:
@bolded that is the point! Just because they aren't comfortable with the Arabic inscription doesn't means it should be removed. In the same currency all the other languages are written signifying the worth of the naira e.g Nàírà Méwàà, Naira Iri and Naira Goma. Notice both the Yorubas and Igbos write in Latin alphabet. If the Hausas preferred to write their language in Arabic alphabet why stop them?

was a referendum done to say Hausas prefer the arabic to hausa? will the berom, tiv, jukun man prefer arabic? i fear you are generalising o.

meanwhile, CBN/FG owes it to us, to give reasons why the arabic inscriptions were removed.

i think this is part of the bigger question of Arabic becoming an official language. The analogy with english doesnt hold cos english is our first official language and is not a christian language in any way. hebrew, latin yes. english no.

Trailblazer1:


Yes you are correct Bro!!! CAN is killing all our Muslim brothers in the north. They even sent shekau to declare a Christian Caliphat in the north.

You don't know your sickness, that means you will never find a cure.

correct!!! Talk sense into their kokonut head

All i need is d money. who cares wat is written on it.

bright8:
About time jare. No ethnic group owns Nigeria more than the other.English is our official language. If you no sabi am, leave am!

M4gunners:
Keep laughing.He just say the truth.

AJOT99:
Nice one!

chinziaski:

No ethnic group wrote the naira. Each ethnic group is represented in English.
The minorities should be the ones complaining that they're not represented, not some foreign language from the middle east. The arabic isn't our language, so let's dump it.

mauriceju2:
Nigeria has more than 200 languages, Every group should have their language inscribed on the naira notes, is time for the north to know and accept the truth that they are not the owner of Nigeria, no body is ready to follow them and go back to the stone age of the Arabic people

Jahniece:

He doesnt av any point. The hausa translation of d amount is always written along side yoruba n ibo e.g Niara Ashinrin. Y then d Arabic inscription again, is d hausa nt enough for them read n know dat its 20naira? Is Arabic d new hausa language?

2scorehigh:
Hmm naija!
Must everything be viewed from ethnic and religious lens?
How does the removal or inclusion of the said Islamic inscription affect the current high exchange rate of the naira?
How many people notice or even know about the inscription?
Now, all of sudden it has become an issue...
O di egwu o.

Larow:
Gbenu osi soun! Olodo!!!

Musiliu! Abokis like u are backward thinkers. Who told u guys to reject western education while others embrased it? Backfire koor! Frontfire ni! See him mouth like my own!

my brother and friend,ur point are always great and significant

M4gunners:
Good talk bro.

ransomed:
Some blood thirsty religionists can wake up tomorrow morning and start killing. Please, let us allow peace to reign so that they wont have any reason to exterminate people. Thanks.

emirateprince:
Almajiri language is for ape pee cee, gej till eternity

Etc etc



"Stupid people"

Nice move! We got nothing whatsoever to do with Arabic!

The fact that all suicide bombers r one way or the other linked to it , is even the more reason we should get rid of it !

#GEJTILL2019haterscanhate!

holatin:


pls do you know the meaning of strange if you do, then this rubbish wount come out of ur mouth.
gat an assignment for you, travel all around dis world, spend their currency, ask question about inscription on it then get back to me cus I only interact with knowledgeable men's.

unfortunately you don't seem to be knowledgeable.

assignment for you too. go to the streets of Lagos, Abuja, warri, Kaduna , even Chibok and ask an average Nigerian to interpret that STRANGE LANGUAGE and see for yourself.


I've done the survey so I'm writing from an informed perspective.

vedaxcool:


Regardless of the bigot laden statements so far on the thread, this remains the main reason why Ajami was used on the naira note, CAN is really working though, through ignorance,it is raising the next generation of lord resistance army fighters, who rather than demand good governance would prefer finding new fronts to fight Muslims. Any nation where people put bigotry and fanaticism before tolerance is doomed to be stagnated.

Are you talking about tolerance here? tolerance by who? muslims or christians? who is actually showing tolerance here? Look christians' resilience has even been overstretched and am scared it may break soon and only God knows what will happen. Or are you not seeing for yourself?

Ochek:


English is foreign but an agreed and accepted official language for Nigeria.

True talk but why the difference in opinion between the Muslim Hausa north and the Christians from the South?

All I want is plenty of the notes in my pocket and bank accounts. I got bills to pay.

That means we may need to remove symbols like wigs used by judges in court, also, we should remove the eagle symbol in the coat of arms because they all have roots in the church.

jude33084:



But why are you guys against the Arabic language?

What have we got to do with a backward writing style ?

Why should should a Federal state Nigeria be associated with all r evil vices that trails that language?

The exclusion of Arabics frm d Naira note is d ryt thing to do

jude33084:


True talk but why the difference in opinion between the Muslim Hausa north and the Christians from the South?

It's only because the Muslims from the north think them own the land and so feel threatened by the removal of the inscription which bears no consequences on the majority of we'll meaning Nigerians. We already have the Hausa language on our currency I seriously wonder what the fuss is about. No doubt, BH is gaining more followers than I thought.

Seun and mods

Correction: It is not an 'islamic' script but an arabic script which makes it easier for the uneducated who can read the arabic to identify the note. That was the wisdom behind the script.

The script itself has nothing to do with islam.

One question to all religious bigots; Does writings/inscriptions on a currency note reduce its value?

vedaxcool:


Sorry man, get an appropriate news to follow!

you too! Grow up in ur reasoning

Not everything should be viewed with the religious eyes. I believe the Ajami script was on the old Nigerian pound before the it was changed to naira. And it represents the indigenous writing language before the arrival of the Brits.

The Ajami script was a west African writing language, and I think it originated from Timbuktu in the mid century. Also, the Hausas have written documents in Ajami dating back to the 18th century or so. So I don't see why you lot have a problem with an indigenous way of writing to be honest.

I might be wrong but a lot of you have got ya priorities wrong.

Vote GMB and bring back Ajami while if you vote in GEJ Ajami abi Arabic will remain in LAWMA Truck

vedaxcool:


Most Hausa would probably learn Ajami before english, most no english at all!

Leaving the Ajami on the naira would preserve the writing system from extinction!

fail!
Denominations are identified by the design and arabic numerals on them, no one would pick up the naira and read the letters on it, no one reads ''one hundred naira'', but identifies '100', Awolowo and the reddish tint of the note.

How would not having an inconsequential phrase on the Naira make Aljami go extinct?

tit:


I know that English is our national language.
Some state governments have also adopted indigenous languages as official languages in their states.
However, i am not sure any state has adopted Arabic as an official language.
If none of the federating states/ethnic groups has adopted Arabic as an official language, do you not find it funny that Arabic is adopted, from the backdoor, as an official national language?

What is funny, is your threatening people about the use of Arabic in Nigeria.
What else can you do to the people of Alakio?

Shock statement.now name one state who adopted Arabic as its official language in Nigeria.

maclatunji:


The essence of the currency is for people to use it, if you make it difficult for a good part of the people it is meant for to identify and use it, then you have only proven to be myopic.

I also find it funny that the opponents of the Arabic script are motivated by hate and to a lesser extent fear. Removing the scripts will not change their fear or reduce their hate. I find it amusing as a result.

dear worshipper of terror, give us one reason why we should have mohammeds bullshiiting on our money

anonimi:


Can this really be true about our Armed Forces
IF true that may partly explain why the soldiers find it difficult to eradicate the Boko Haram TERRORISTS

Meanwhile I guess this brief re-introduction of Arabic unto our Naira notes is the legacy of the former Chief Imam of CBN who is now Emir of Kano.

Go close to a decorated officer and its obvious.

This guy is daft and has been intensely indoctrinated. Its not your fault, it is the fault of those who put it there in the first place.
Having the inscriptions, was it out of love? Bigots.
